Another Conditional Format issue

[TryingToLearn]

Excel Home & Office 2016 on Win 10

Column B is formatted y-mmm
Column F text is either "", "x" or "+" and this formula works if placed in a worksheet cell on row 13:

=IF(AND(F13="",DAY(B13)<TODAY()-5),"True","False")

Shows True if F13 is within 5 days of today

If I place the guts of it in conditional formatting for a given cell on row 13 it does not work.

AND(F13="",DAY(B13)<TODAY()-5)

What could I be missing?

TIA

You have something like this:

Your formula is not complete because the edit truncated part of it.
For your formula to be complete you have to put a space before and after each sign > or < .

=IF(AND(F13="",DAY(B13)<today()-5),"true","false")
</today()-5),"true","false")

For example:
=IF(AND(F6="",B6 < TODAY()+5,B6 > TODAY()-5),TRUE,FALSE)

 

[Joe4]

=IF(AND(F13="",DAY(B13)<today()-5),"true","false")
</today()-5),"true","false")

Your formula is incomplete. My guess is it is being chopped off because you are using > or < signs that are treated as HTML code.
Try posting your formula again, but put spaces on both sides of all > and < signs, and it should work.

 

[navic]

<today()-5),"true","false")
<today()-5)
If you want the specific row range to be formatted with Conditional formatting then set it experiment with the absolute address.
eg.

=IF(AND($F13...

try

=IF(AND([B]$[/B]F13="", DAY(B13) "less then" TODAY()) ,TRUE,FALSE)

<today(),true,false)<today();true;false) <today()="" ,true,false)
<today()),true,false)[ code]
or</today()),true,false)[></today(),true,false)<today();true;false)></today()-5)></today()-5),"true","false")
<today()-5),"true","false")
<today()-5)
<today(),true,false)<today();true;false) <today()="" ,true,false)
<today()),true,false)[ code]
<today())<today())<today())<today())[ code]
just AND formula

Sign "less then" without quote.

</today())<today())<today())<today())[></today()),true,false)[></today(),true,false)<today();true;false)></today()-5)></today()-5),"true","false")
I do not know why Forum cut off part of formula?
Probably also cut you off?

my apologies, I cut off part of the first formula by not using the code functions so it should have read:

=IF(AND(F13="",DAY(B13) < TODAY()-5),"True","False")

Which DOES WORK PROPERLY if placed in a cell on the sheet. I will be using this on entire columns which is why I did not use an absolute address.

within the conditional formatting section rule I placed:

 AND(F13="",DAY(B13) < TODAY()-5)

Which does NOT work as hoped. However! It dawned on me the formula is not correct for what I am trying to do. To have the background of the cells turn red if within 5 days of today I should have used:

AND(F413="",DAY(B413) > DAY(TODAY())-5)

which works as intended.
Thank you for your comments.

Note:
Even on the spreadsheet (and not in Conditional Formatting), this:

=IF(AND(F13="",DAY(B13) < TODAY()-5),"True","False")

can just be written like this:

=AND(F13="",DAY(B13) < TODAY()-5))

as AND and OR statement return boolean values (so the IF part is totally unnecessary, if you are just looking to return True or False).

If in B you have a date, you do not need a reference to the day. Can be:

=AND(F6="",B6 > HOY()+5)


But, I'm confused, your formula works?


If not, you could give examples of what you have and what cells you want in red.

The last code posted works. what I want is to highlight cells in red if, today, they are within 5 days of the due date in col B.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm glad to help you. Thanks for the feedback.
